Who’s To Blame For The Border Crisis?
Hardhatters ^ | 07/10/2014 | Hal Hawkins

Posted on 07/10/2014 8:25:24 AM PDT by thetallguy24

An overwhelming surge of tens of thousands of illegal alien children crossing our southern border has been happening in the past few months, everyone is looking for a scapegoat. Rather than seeking out a solution to end this surge, most would prefer to just point fingers. The blame game is a lot like sex. It sells. Unfortunately, most are rather biased in how they point fingers. Democrats blame Bush. Republicans blame Obama. Libertarians blame our open border as not being open enough. It’s never really that simple; however, as there are many areas to place blame, so we’re going to play this “game” right. What’s causing all these illegal alien children to come here so suddenly?

Obama and DACA

In all fairness, Obama is the chief executive of this country and oversees all border security and immigration departments. On June 15, 2012, the Obama administration announced rule changes called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). As you can see in the video below, Obama made the announcement publicly in the White House Rose Garden. According to him, the children brought here against their will are Americans “in every, single way but one, on paper.” The rule applies to nearly every illegal alien who was under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012, was under 16 when they came to America, and has resided in America continuously since 2007. While the last exception should rule out the thousands of illegal alien children that have come across the border over these past few months, this rule, when reaching the ears of Central Americans, could be easily misinterpreted as a free pass.

However, it’s very likely that most will receive a free pass, even those who do not qualify for DACA.

TADSLOS INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: Every bit of this has a political aim......it’s an outright invasion.

A Murietta resident told Breitbart News that the illegals are being deliberately sent to Republican-supporting communities like his city....a vengeful message to those opposed to open borders.

“The Obama administration thinks that if it floods our streets, in small town America, they can force us into immigration reform,” he said. “These immigrants should not be here. The only reason that they are coming here is for political reasons.”

“This is a small town – it’s mostly conservative – and the federal government knows that. The main reason a lot of us are out here protesting is because we do not want these people being dumped into our small town where we do not have programs or the resources to take care of them properly.”......Murietta protesters have been attacked by left-wingers hurling epithets carrying signs reading "you are on stolen land."

VIDEO Gen. Michael Hayden: Treat Immigration Crisis Like Insurgency
Newsmax By Courtney Coren | 09 Jul 2014 12:19 PM / FR Posted by robowombat

GEN HAYDEN: The invasion is an insurgency---"a criminal enterprise that's so big and so powerful that, as a byproduct, it actually threatens the US government."

The only way to describe it......all they need are the guns....they know where the weapons are....and so does Obama. One of their oft-stated goals is to takeback the SW.....a counter-protest sign in Murietta announced "you are on stolen land."

This is being facilitated w/ our tax dollars by The Congressional Hispanic Caucus---Becerra, Guttierez, chief among them....and their allies......it’s a barbarian invasion---the savages have said they want everything we have. They would fundamentally transform America into a Third World....

And the stupid in the WH says its "our" responsibility to feed, medicate and shelter the barbarian hordes who want to destroy us.

=========================================

On Tuesday, Obama urged Congress to cough up $4 billion to deal with the flood of children from Central America – and others from parts unknown – crossing the border into Texas. Obama called this mess “an urgent humanitarian situation,” but what he did not do is take responsibility for almost single- handedly causing this mess two years prior.

Mexico made deal to send more illegal aliens to the U.S
Examiner.com ^ | 7/09/14 | Dave Gibson / FR by blueyon

On Monday, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference in Playas de Catazaja, Mexico, to officially announce an agreement to make it easier for those making the illegal journey to the United States from Central America, to cross into Mexico.

The Southern Border Program to Improve Passage, will provide for more border checkpoints along Mexico's border with Guatemala, and offer more protection and even emergency medical care to those making their way north. The illegal aliens will receive a so-called Regional Visitor's Card, according to El Universal. (Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...

Sure, but only because they know they can stay once they get here.

An inept congress and a criminal executive branch on the heels of decades of inaction at our border.

1. Obama

2. Bush

Bush could have closed the border successfully right after 911 and nobody would have said a word, instead he and Cheney created the Patriot Act to enact some bad laws that enabled more spying on Americans. The gist of the argument was "We don't know who is here so we need to spy on them". I know a lot of Freepers have disagreed with me on this over the years, but Bush could have solved this 13 years ago without any political fight...

There is a big difference between analyzing the causes of a problem versus blindly tossing blame at your political opponents.
The current administration only does the second.

What I can’t figure out is why they need 3.7 Billion dollars to handle these free-loaders. If there are 65,000 of them, that works out to about $57,000 PER KID!

Are they feeding them caviar and housing them in the Four Seasons? Feeding them for a week and putting them on a plane back home shouldn’t cost more than a thousand bucks, tops!

I think a lot of it is going into some well-connected pockets.

LAWLESSNESS IS NOW THE "LAW OF THE LAND"

But in a sign of how difficult it will be for Obama to satisfy advocates' demands, Trumka and Murguia called on the president to provide work permits to everyone who would have been eligible for citizenship under the Senate immigration bill, which would have extended relief to many of the 11.5 million people already in the country illegally. Administration officials have weighed expanding a two-year-old program that gave work permits to more than 500,000 immigrants brought illegally to the country as youths, but may be reluctant to extend it as broadly as advocates demand.

This is an intentional program of the Democrat Party, facilitated by Obama.
Until we put pressure on the Party Obama will continue destroying America knowing he has the protection of Democrats.

Well, that would be the Democrats and the GOP Establishment types who sold their soul for Campaign Cash from the Chamber of Commerce.

We need to get rid of that Hart-Celler Act. End chain migration. Go back to quotas.

Oh, the GOP-E is involved with this just as much as the Democrats.

You can't tell me that the GOP-E would be just as happy if this forced Amnesty rather than their evil comprehensive Immigration Reform.

George Bush had the perfect opportunity on 9/11 to immediately secure all our borders.

Actually he had the responsibility to do so, but he did not. Why?

Maybe because of his hispanic relatives? Maybe because he’s a liberal at heart.

The Congress is not inept, the Democrats control the Senate and White House and can block any Congressional moves. To them the Constitution is irrelevant .

Well, if President George "Amnesty Bush had actually done what his base wanted him to do, close the border, when he had both houses of congress and the Presidency we would not be facing this problem today.

So yes, GWB, if we are to be honest and truthful, has to shoulder some of the blame.

Yeah, I agree. I voted for him twice holding my nose. I like him as person, but he was not a good president and definitely not a conservative. Plus he foisted the Medicare Drug plan on us...

Tell us how it is that L4B (that little bath-house barry bastard boy) knew there would be more than 60,000 illegal alien children arriving at our Southern Border this summer, way back in January of this year when he had the fedzillaadvertising for ‘escorts’ for 65,000 unescorted children ‘immigrants’. Perhaps Bush arranged that, too? If you actually want an answer to that query you will have to figure out how to get the records of Brennan’s CIA thuggery embrace of the drug cartels released for exposure.

How quickly we forget from whence came the ‘North American UNion’ agenda as a step in the implementation of the globalist one world government plan.
